Robinhood Begins US Crypto Perps Rollout With Up to 10x Leverage
Robinhood has started a U.S. rollout of crypto perpetual futures offering up to 10x leverage. The product launch includes eight perpetual contracts that trade without expiry via Robinhood Derivatives and Bitstamp, with wider availability expected in the coming months.
Why It Matters
Perpetuals with leverage expand Robinhood's derivatives offerings to U.S. crypto traders and could change retail access to margin-like products. Broader distribution over time may increase the user base able to trade these instruments.
Key Facts
- Product: Crypto perpetual contracts (no-expiry)
- Leverage: Up to 10x
- Number of contracts: Eight
- Trading venues: Robinhood Derivatives and Bitstamp
- Availability: U.S. rollout with broader access planned in the coming months
Robinhood has initiated a rollout in the United States for crypto perpetual futures, offering traders contracts that do not have an expiry date. The initial lineup comprises eight perpetual contracts, each tradable with leverage of up to 10x.
Trading for these contracts will be available through Robinhood's Derivatives platform as well as on Bitstamp. The products are structured as no-expiry instruments, commonly known as perpetuals, which let traders hold positions without a fixed settlement date.
Robinhood said it plans to expand access beyond the initial rollout over the coming months, indicating a phased deployment of the new derivative offerings to more users. The launch marks an extension of Robinhood's crypto derivatives capabilities within the U.S. market.
